Love is built
From soulmate fantasies to cosmic coincidences, modern love is full of myths that feel magical — and messy. The Cynical Romantic breaks down what’s real, what’s marketing, and how to build connection without losing your heart (or your common sense).
Turns out the universe isn’t a dating coach, soulmates aren’t a guarantee, and chemistry doesn’t pay emotional bills. Modern love is less fate… and more choice. And yes, I wish love was more fated. It would make things so much easier. And my choices to date? Suck.
Soulmate or Cellmates
Love these days feels like a mix of fairy tales, dating apps, cosmic signs, and emotional whiplash.
In this Cynical Romantic mini-series, I unpack the biggest modern myths we’ve all fallen for — the idea of “The One,” the universe’s obsession with romantic coincidence, and why chemistry alone keeps getting us into trouble.
With humor, honesty, and a few hard-earned lessons, I explore where soulmate culture came from, how it became a marketing goldmine, and why real love has far more to do with compatibility, consistency, and showing up than destiny or perfect timing.
From spooky synchronicities to passionate chaos disguised as fate, these stories cut through the fantasy without killing the hope.
Because love can still be magical — just not magical enough to ignore red flags, boundaries, or reality.
A little cynicism.
A lot of heart.
And a healthier way to think about modern romance.
